Blizzard have just released new videos revealing a plethora of new details on the latest edition to the Overwatch roster. Not only that, but the crazed critter is already live and available to play on the Overwatch PTR server!
Our new hamster friend Hammond, nicknamed “Wrecking Ball”, is a new Tank hero and is indeed the fabled missing Lunar Colony specimen, having hitched a ride to Earth on fellow roster member Winston’s escape pod. Landing in Junkertown, where he converted his pod into a battle-mech, Wrecking Ball made a name for himself in gladiatorial combat, no-one knowing the reality of the tiny creature housed inside the monstrous contraption.
Hammond is described as “conniving” and “mischievous” and is blessed with super-intelligence and battle-smarts. Although he doesn’t speak a word of the human tongue, Hammond’s mech translates his squeaks into English in a terrifying tone. Wrecking Ball can boulder through maps with ease and is even equipped with a grappling claw to reach high places and swing over gaps, landing in a devastating special known as Piledriver.
